When i got interested in sociolinguistics, one of the first things i did was listen to this lecture by William Labov. It was astonishing: creative, rigorous, humane, and like all of his work, rich with insights about the everyday world. vimeo.com/70455840

Yesterday, we lost William Labov, a foundational figure in sociolinguistics. In his Abralin Talk, Labov reflected on a lifetime of scholarship that has mentored generations and advanced the pursuit of social equity through linguistics.
